This is the story of a pepper that is is three years old. Has survived untold storms, insect swarms, freezes, droughts..I think of it as a natural bonsai. This plant has seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I'ts watched C-beams glitter in the...

Yeah, ruddies dont fear, lol

Thanks for all the input ! I find it very rewarding to grow at least some of our food, and doing so naturally and efficiently just makes it even better. I am gearing up for composting next. Cheers -bobby

We enjoy a small 20 gal fountain with a bubbler and keep four comet goldfish. They are fun to watch..look like koi, and are very hardy ( a heater helps on cold nights). I started using the fountain water on my peppers each time I clean out the fountain and they never looked better..anyone else...

You are so right !! ..i noticed some six-legged fiends just this morning... My Tabasco's are about to fruit like crazy... just hope it doesn't get too cool too fast...

Not that far..I'm in Melbourne....no need to water for the next few days !!!! Thinking of setting up a pup tent green house for those few freezing nights this year... or maybe just use a sprinkler..anyhow the tuff plants usually survive our winters with no help.. I imagine you get a bit colder...

just walking around the property with some shears and a glass of wine and then deciding "what shall be for dinner" !!! most of my peppers are in pots under trees.. hot and sweet..i like em all and I love canning spicy vinegars and growing sprouts too!!

He deserves a tee shirt !!!
